It's the only sincere attempt I've ever seen to portray the historical Pocahontas realistically and accurately. I have it on DVD and have watched it two or three times, and it is a good movie. All the other screen portrayals of Pocahontas I've ever seen were silly Disney feature-length cartoons and the like.
